A Platinum Basic Man's Ring for Mahran

Mahran, writing from Saudi Arabia, commissioned the Basic Man's Ring in its Platinum Edition: Pt950 set with an emerald, sapphires and diamonds.

Carol carved and filed the wax by hand, laid the stones into it to confirm proportion, then cast the ring in platinum, set each stone and polished it at the bench.

A CD of the design photographs travelled with the ring. When he opened the box at the FedEx counter, he wrote, the staff asked to see the photographs too.
